Not an Ole Miss fan, but he was committed to UGA for a while so I know a little bit.
He’s good.
Rebs, correct me if wrong, but isn’t he a good pitcher, but will play more outfield?

Mo Hampton vs. John Rhys Plumlee on the football field and baseball diamond for the next few years should be fun.

Never personally seen him play but I lived in Hattiesburg while he was in high school and worked with a guy that had a son playing at Petal (Oak Grove's cross town rival)
According to him JRP was always a better football player. Said he never really looked like a natural in baseball and was able to get by on his insane athleticism. Said things like he didn't track fly balls very well. He'd get there due to his speed but would arrive on routine balls at the last minute and dropped more than an outfielder should that hit his glove. His averaged indicates he's a pretty good hitter, but who know how many of those were infield/bunt singles that were base hits in high school and will be outs in the SEC

I hope he can throw a baseball better than he can a football. Also he's really fast.

If he can get on base, he can score off a bunt.

After seeing him throw a football, I can't imagine him being remotely accurate throwing a baseball...

Ealy will be starting in Center against lefties this year is my prediction. Maybe he eventually takes over all time if he can really hit. He’s a freak athlete especially tracking down balls. He’s also a beast beating ground balls to first.

I'm sure he's a great baserunner. He's going to be a pain in the arse, football and baseball, for the next couple of years.
